The federal lawmaker reiterated his stand that the citizens of Nigeria are suffering and angry, noting that the government needs to take urgent action to remedy the situation.

“It is unpatriotic to stand by Mr President with whatever he does, it is patriotic to speak the truth not only to the President but anybody for that matter. It unpatriotic not to speak the truth to power or anybody and still stand by that.

“In doing so, it is also worthy to note that in Hausa language (Allah ya na tare da mai gaskiya) meaning that God is always on the side of truthful people.

“I know I am not wrong; the people are not wrong by speaking the truth and by standing by the truth. I expect the president, who I believe that the report has gotten to him to look into what I have said and take appropriate measures to alleviate the suffering.

“People are not happy, people are suffering and angry. Leaders in this country need to take a review; they should get back to me to tell me whether I said anything that is not true or is wrong. It is God that gave me that position and it is God that took it, so I bear no grudge against anyone. Afterall, I didn’t contest to be the Chief Whip, I didn’t contest to be the Vice Chairman appropriation committee, I contested to be the senator of Federal Republic of Nigeria.

“Alhamdulillah, God granted me victory and I am with God,” Ndume said.
